New Harsey Folder
Just received a new Harsey Tactical Ranger Folder today.
It is the biggest folding knife I have ever seen. Just under 5" blade, almost 11" overall when opened, over 8 ounces in weight. Any bigger and it would be a crew-served knife.
CPM S30-V blade, Titanium liners, nylon handles, stainless steel fasteners.
Liner lock, available in Desert camo, but mine looks like a Tiger Stripe pattern to me.
Brought to you by the good guys at Lone Wolf Knives, and Mr. Harsey himself.
This is one SERIOUS folder!
Better get one quick.

That's the Big Brother to the T2 that I got from Bill. Same knife, but a smaller scale (4" blade, 8.75" OAL on the T2) good size for a folder. The steel is unreal. It is the same as used in the Yarborough/Green Beret Knife from Chris Reeve. It holds an edge better than any knife I have ever owned. I have been carrying and using this one for a couple of months now and it works very well.
Any ???s, ask away !!
Later
Martin

Nice knife... I see it has a little brother:
wow Bill, you named a knife for me....the Harsey "T-2" ranger.
Would have been nicer as the "T-2" surgeon (hahaha) Give me some slack, it's 23:40 and I just finished a mess of a case in the operating room. I could use a little humor right now, even at my own expense!!

As a follow on to the above posts. DO NOT, cut anything on a "disposable" plate, etc) while it is on your LAP !!! Set it on a hard surface. These things are SHARP BEYOND ALL BELIEF !! I did slice through a disposable plastic plate (that was on a table) and I can't imagine what it would have done if it had been a thin plastic, paper or syrofoam plate setting in my LAP !!! These things are like SCALPELS !!! This also goes for the Yarboroug/Green Beret Knives. When I was posing for the pic of myself with Chris Reeve at Bragg, I started to hold MY YARBOROUGH (that hasn't been made yet  ) by the Tang in one hand and the point resting against my index finger on the other hand. IT poked a hole in my finger !!!!
These guys do know what SHARP is !!!
Take care
Martin

That is the same except for the camo. This is more of a Tiger Stripe, and covers the blade as well.
I may take some pics tomorrow, if there is any interest in seeing it.
Or you could just ask the designer.
I agree with AM, this is a keeper.

You mean just before posing for this pic?
I wondered why you changed your grip so quickly.

Lone Wolf Knives wait for the second page to auto load and then click on products. You'll find the harsey tacticals there. Lone Wolf is in Portland, Oregon and everything is made in USA.

just out of curiousity, can an original Harsey be commissioned?
No, not just for me (I don't have that kind of income....) but for this forum, "professionalsoldiers.com" or "Quiet Professionals...and friends"
